I am currently using setAdapter to update my ListView, but I believe the correct way is to use notifiyDatasetChanged (), and I cannot get this to work in my main class (this is in the adapter). Here is the error:
The notifyDatasetChanged () method is undefined for the ListAdapter type
I guess there is a better way to do this - can someone point me in the right direction?
Here are the relevant parts of my code:
public class ScoreList extends SherlockFragmentActivity {
private ListView listViewScore;
static List<Score> listScore = new ArrayList<Score>();
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.score_list);
ctx = this;
listScore = dbh.getAllScores();
listViewScore = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.score_list);
listViewScore.setAdapter(new ScoreListAdapter(ctx,
R.layout.score_row_item, listScore));
listViewScore.getAdapter().notifyDatasetChanged();
}
}
Here's the adapter:
public class ScoreListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Score> {
private int resource;
private LayoutInflater inflater;
public ScoreListAdapter(Context ctx, int resourceId, List<Score> objects) {
super(ctx, resourceId, objects);
resource = resourceId;
inflater = LayoutInflater.from(ctx);
}
@Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
convertView = (LinearLayout) inflater.inflate(resource, null);
Score score = getItem(position);
TextView txtName = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.name);
txtName.setText(score.getName());
TextView txtScoreChange = (TextView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.scoreChange);
int scoreChange = Integer.parseInt(score.getScoreChange());
if (scoreChange > 0)
txtScoreChange.setText("+" + scoreChange);
else if (scoreChange < 0)
txtScoreChange.setText("" + scoreChange);
else
txtScoreChange.setText("");
TextView txtScoreTotal = (TextView) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.scoreTotal);
txtScoreTotal.setText(score.getScoreTotal());
final LinearLayout currentRow = (LinearLayout) convertView
.findViewById(R.id.scoreRowLayout);
notifyDataSetChanged();
return convertView;
}
}
